Paper Sunflowers

An easy craft project that makes a great card or decoration! Only four, globally important crops are native to the United States: blueberry, cranberry, pecan, and the sunflower! Students use paper, some creativity, and scissor cuts to create beautiful paper models of sunflowers. They can use them to describe stories related to sunflowers, explain some facts with others about their learning on sunflowers and other plants, and more!
